Victorian Design Source Book by Noel Riley
This fully illustrated reference book, designed for collectors, designers and artists, examines all the design elements of Victorian England. The author traces technological developments and captures the spirit of discovery and modernity that characterized the time. Each of the artistic disciplines that dominated the period are explored in detail, such as jewellery, fine art, architecture, graphics, toymaking, furniture, glass, ceramics and photography. Important developments in industrial design are also examined.
